Fiorecet W/codien Vs Fiorecet Without

Updated

Hi I am a migraine suffer! I just turned 33 in July, and I didn't start getting migraines until last year right before I turned 32, I went to the ER three times last year because the migraines we're lasting up to four days at a time, I get the Aurora lights/blurry vision, In the hospital I was prescribed Fiorecet without codien in it and it worked really well! I am now prescribed Mobic 7.5 mgs as needed for headaches/migraines and it helps but I feel I should combined it with Fiorecet, my question is which Fiorecet works better for bad migraines? With/without codien?

Hello, Steffy! How are you?

There is no way to say which one works best, since we are all different, it really depends on what works best for you. Some people do great with the regular Fioricet, some people don't.

The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, nausea, constipation, and dry mouth.

However, ultimately, it is up to you and your doctor, since all 3 of these medications require a prescription in the U.S.

How much is the Mobic helping?

The mobic actually helpse quite a bit! I ended up going to my Dr. On Tuesday the 22nd, and she precribed me Rizatriptan Benzoate Tablet 5 mg (base) I can take one every two hours as needed but can't consume more than six in 24 hour range! And she kept me on mobic, so I can take them together if one doesn't work they can balance eachother out! So far I am just able to take the Rizatriptan usually only twice in one day, Thankfully I didn't have a migraine or any headaches at all yesterday or today :) so I didn't have to take either of them! But if it gets bad again and if these meds start to not work then my Dr said I can go back on Fiorecet W/barbituate since that was the one I was prescribed last year in the ER, I was given a prescription of 15 Fiorecet and I made them last over a year! So that's the plan hopefully it doesn't come to that!
